OK..thanks..that reminds me of my shortcut to Main Street Station. (a very good and low priced buffet)

Fremont Street enter Binion's..walk through the casino, out at the old poker tournament area. Cross kitty-corner to the California..up escalator..take the sky bridge to Main Street Station.

Last June, I had reservations at The Flame at the El Cortez for dinner. Was nighttime, and there were quite a few shady characters hanging around Fremont Street, once you got past Walgreens..
